Product Details
The Oxford Dakar Dry2Dry Air Waterproof Textile Motorcycle Trousers in Desert / Black are designed for sports-adventure riders who want strong summer airflow with adaptable wet-weather protection. Large HD-POLY mesh panels ventilate the outer shell, while the fully removable Dry2Dry waterproof and breathable liner can be fitted when the weather changes.
This Desert / Black colourway is offered on this listing in a regular-leg fit. The Dakar is a useful choice for warm-weather road riding, touring and adventure use where ventilation, movement and the option of a removable waterproof layer matter.
